God forbid they read the, "Please shower before you go to the show" posts pertaining to C3 then.  Wouldn't want anyone getting a wrong impression.   ;D

I often find myself cleaning up the Star Wars sections as well, at the very least putting figures back on the pegs that have fallen on the shelf below, or even on the floor.  I can't believe how some people will knock stuff on the floor (toys, clothes, food, etc.), and just leave it and keep on walking.  I'll usually pick up anything that has been knocked on the floor, and just put it back on the shelf/peg, instead of watching everyone else kick it all over, step on it, or run it over with their cart.

Amazingly I found myself picking up figures off the floor and putting them on the pegs tonight. I've "cleaned up" the areas a few times before, but usually I don't even think to do it.

I was at Target today (got a Clone Commander! Wooo!) and found about five figures just laying around on the vehicles, so I put them all on the pegs. Saw a bunch of kids going nuts for the figures too, mostly Vader and the #6 Clone.

I don't help clean the aisles. In fact, I contribute to the mess. ;D

During Midnight Madness, I was chatting with a TRU manager, and I asked he if she thought customers who cleaned up a toy aisle were nuts.  She said "No.  In fact, I usually ask them what they are looking for, and if I have it in back, I'll get it!"

Not cool, your doing us collectors dirty. It won't kill you to bend over and pick up a few figures, now and again. :)

That was always the way my son could tell I had already been in the SW section.  All of the figures were separated onto their own pegs.

Our wallys, post-MM, has three shelves of figures, along with the pegs.  I went out there the other night and separated all of the shelf figures so they were "all-Mace-in a row", "all-Palpy-in a row".  Made it easier to see which figures were short packed and already gone through in our area.
